Morning

May be I'm a bit behind the times here, but does any remember Sonic who used to edit Super Bike magazine back in the day, then did a few programmes for Men and Motors?

He got kidnapped in Syria the other week, obviously bikes weren't dangerous enough! He's now free and there was an article in one of the Sunday papers.

http://www.fastfeatures.com/ - is his website, and it's pretty good, definately a step up from Super Bike Magazine!

2nd time he's been captured, the guy must really love what he does to go back there again.

Good luck to him

I can remember him having that Suzuki. From memory he had a race against one of the other journo's to prove it was better? A Honda I think?
